Import Tips
• Include detailed color yarn swatches and weave analysis in entry docs to substantiate 'yarns of different colors' claim
• Measure fabric weight precisely (g/m²) post-scouring to ensure under 200 g/m² threshold
• Label origin country clearly, as quantitative restrictions on raw cotton may indirectly affect mixed fabric pricing
